NO! Enough of this BS.
No thank you.
Here is a thought exercise:
-Why would you want to protect waste/fraud/abuse in Social Security?
-Who’s money is it?
-Where do those dollars go?
The same reason you would not use a bulldozer to root out the dandelions in your lawn ! Or a jackhammer to drive a tack ! DOGE is the wrong tool for the task.
+1 to what Charles B. said.
You don’t cut off the leg because you stub your toe, yet that is the approach DOGE has shown to be taking.
Put the horse before the cart and prove that there is waste, fraud, and abuse BEFORE you hand million’s of Americans’ personal data to guys who refer to themselves as “Big Balls.”
Which is why you’d bring in auditors, not programmers, if you were actually serious about funding fraud, waste, and abuse.
In regards to how you’d properly shrink the government, the model to follow is how Clinton and Gore did it.
You inspect what you expect. Obviously, no one is checking who is getting money from the government. We need DOGE to track down the bogus payments and criminal activities of the government. I expect them to find a lot of criminal activity from the Democrats, you know them, the same people who hid Joe Biden mental state for four years.
“No one is checking who is getting money from the government.” Come on, man. Stop parroting the administration’s words and actually teach yourself how systems work.
Aside from the 5,000+ people who have this exact job and their findings are reported out publicly via the federal .gov website. yes, absolutely no one is doing this
Maybe we should start having a test to be eligible to vote…
Scott, when it comes to dementia, not all folks are just sleepy. Some lash out in anger and delusion, saying things like “they don’t know” if they swore an oath to uphold the Constitution or continually repeating that they won the 2020 election and it’s currently being litigated.
Go watch that full NBC interview and get back to me. I expect in a few years that people will be claiming they had no idea Trump was suffering from dementia when the evidence has been obvious for a decade.
Scott, help me understand your view on this. Point me toward a credible list of bogus payments and criminal activities that DOGE has found so far.
